Spoiler or no spoiler?

Ok, though this was going to be standard stock spoiler v. no spoiler.
I really like the stock spoiler, but so far I have only seen a couple aftermarket and they seem to just be extensions of the current spoiler.

I like it with or without really. I have the touring without the sport package I am considering the spoiler. I have to be honest I like it just as much without though...

What's the purpose, besides looks? Is it functional? If so, at what speed? 64 dollar question--Was it wind tunneled tested?

We need a thread with all the different spoilers available to make an informed decision ;P)

I just did some B-road driving over the weekend... and the car desprately needs some down force!

Front and rear spoiler for functionality, ftw!

Totally with! It just isn't right without one :P

The standard rear sport spoiler has a cool line and I would love the get the Nismo rear fascia. The wheel vents are hot. I’m not crazy about the Nismo front fascia.

I really like the Ings spoiler myself. Could be a little shorter and then it would actually serve a purpose.

the factory spoilers hides that hard line on the hatch, not seeing that hard line makes it look too rounded to me

ChopsZ · 11-18-2016, 12:20 AM

Overall, I think the Z looks cleaner without the spoiler. It also looks better without the spoiler, BUT... It depends on the angle that you look at it, and I think the type of wheels, exhaust and stance also help a lot. I also prefer the looks of that "hard line" on the hatch.

Then again, it's hard to find a 370Z that doesn't look good period.

The blackberry curve and iPhone 3 were the hottest phones and FarmVille was played by millions when this thread died.......for a very good reason. It didn't matter because they all looked great with aftermarket/oem/high wing/low wing or without.

aerojacket's duckbill is spot on for me....
one day I will have it, one day.

the 370z requires a spoiler.. and a lip like the mine's.
